Falling is an exploration-heavy hack with an interesting take on item and path progression. Be warned that while the hack itself isn't too difficult, the bosses have been buffed massively.

Falling is one of the more interesting hacks out there. With a very strange path to explore initially and wacky item order, it really stands out compared to a lot of other hacks made in the same mold. (i.e. hacks that are somewhat vanilla, but completely new layout.) Some very fun times are had exploring the world, until you find a boss.

The major downside is that all four major bosses have been given so much extra health and damage that they become more of a chore. They certainly feel like bosses now, but they seem so out of place in this hack.

In spite of that, I still had a really fun time with this hack, and would highly recommend it. Definitely worth a playthrough just for an idea on to do a wacky item progression and pull it off if nothing else.

The Good: The wacky layout and item order. The hack is certainly called "falling" for a reason.
The Bad: Overpowered bosses made for the weakest point in the hack. I hope you enjoy slowly grinding down health.
The Ugly: Mid-2000's half-hack tiling needs to be banished.

Overall a fun hack though and a nice change of pace that shows you don't always have to go all out to make your hack an enjoyable ride, if you have a neat concept and the skill to execute it well. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Not going to lie, I used cheats to beat the bosses. There really isn't a reason to buff the boss so much that it's not even challenging, it's just a chore.

At least it's the only downside to this hack. Fun item order and good level design overall!

Bosses are hard, but if you take them on late enough they shouldn't be too much of a problem. The item progression is unlike any other that I've seen so far, it was really creative. The exploration and possibilities for sequence breaks were also great. Highly recommend this hack but watch out for bosses.

Bosses are a challenge.
Needed every etank to take down Ridley.
... and every super missile.
... and every power bomb.

Item progression & level design is tons of fun.

Some fixes for the next playthrough...

Map fix for east crateria.

Just like the sequel hack, Super Metroid: Hidden, the author greatly changes item and path progression. Even more so in this hack than in Hidden. I believe at one point you could decide to go to Draygon, Phantoon or Ridley in any order which was pretty neat.

Difficulty-wise it's slightly harder than Vanilla but not by much with the exception of one major complaint which are the tough bosses. Kraid in particular was absurd.

The hack is worth playing for the unique progression/item order and well-done level design.
